National Pink Day, Through Art

So today is National Pink Day and everyone is busy sharing pictures of their best selves donning pink clothes and drinking frosé (I had no idea frozen rosé was a thing until last week).  But for me, the first thing I thought of was James Turrell’s Breathing Light which just wrapped its legendary 5 year run at LACMA on May 29th. This also reminded me of a beautiful video I saw about his work recently and thought I’d share.

Then of course, this got me thinking about some of my old (and new) favorite works in pink and I thought I’d share a few in honor of the day.  Happy National Pink Day!
